Hump Day Mix 2.0 Week 13: Looking For Your Cat? Check My Tires Edition
Since Slasha isn't back from Cali yet, I am hosting this thing again this week. I introduce to you our own 1BlkGldFan. She is the real deal fellas. I am glad to have her this week. Enjoy.
Here's an excerpt from an exchange 1BlkGldFan and I had over email. I though it was good enough for print.
PixburghArn: Just a little history of the HDM. I created the HDM with Webslaha in mind. He was wanting to contribute so I thought up something he'd be interested in. Can you miss with Steeler football and women? After a few editions, I handed it over to Slash.
1BlknGldStlrFan: No you can't miss with Steeler football and women~ I have to tell you.. I don't even date outside of the fanbase anymore. Steeler football is too much a part of my life to not be with someone who enjoys it as much as I do. Darn good thing Steeler Nation is everywhere..lol
PixburghArn: You are ate up! I like that.
Hey I can relate with what 1BlkGldFan said. I went to Pittsburgh to find my wife. Too many Bengal fans in Dayton and too many Redskins fans in Virginia (where I was living at the time). Anyhow, let's get on with it.
How did those predictions from the Chiefs game turn out?
PixburghArn: I said the Chiefs would be scrappy and they were. I said Palko would make plays her and there but it would not be enough. I was way off on the score though. I said 30-17. ncmt40 (whom I forgot change from swmt40) if the holes aren't there and Ben doesn't get protection it would be 17-6. That is pretty much what it should have been without the fumble. Steeler Fever said a blowout, so that puts him with me (wrong).
How about those standouts?
PixburghArn: I said Rush Hard and Wallace on O and Troy on D. Wrong! Heck we all missed it ok. Let's move on.....
What about those concerns?
PixburghArn: I was concerned we wouldn't put the game away. Guess what I finally got one right, the one I didn't want to get right. At least my over concern didn't happen; a loss.
Predictions for the Bengals game:
PixburghArn: Coming off of a flat performance could play well for us. I am thinking there were a lot of players that were not happy with their efforts Sunday night. I'm going to say the focus comes back. Execution is the key. You will see execution in the red zone. You will also see that this team is deeper than 11 on each side of the ball. I know we already know this, but I mean it will be obvious this game. A late score makes it look respectable. 34-20 Steelers
1BlkGldFan: Well since I've tapped into my psychic side (Pinot Noir does that) for the KC game and predicted the Steelers defense was going to come up big, I'm going to again go with my gut and call this game: The One. The one where all cylinders are firing and both the Offense and the Defense click. I believe this game the Steelers kick into playoff mode. Poor Bungles.
Predicted Standouts:
PixburghArn: On offense the standout will be Ben. Ben will evenly distribute the rock and have TDs to four different receivers. On defense it will be Troy. Troy will not miss his interception this week. He may have two. One while it's close and another on a desperate throw.
1BlkGldFan: On offense, Mike "JCTDB" Wallace (that's "just catch the damn ball") He has a few drops that he owes Ben for.. this week he'll shine. On defense, Lawrence Timmons. With Woodley coming back I think the Bengals are going to give him special attention and Timmons will take advantage of it.
Concerns:
PixburghArn: My biggest concern is two headed A.J. Green and Gresham. A.J. Green is their playmaker and Gresham is their security blanket. I don't want these two to beat me. I'll take my chance with the other two receivers. With A.J. Green you are going to have to get your head turned around and fight for the ball. We don't have anyone besides Polamalu that has shown they can play the ball well enough to stop him from getting a jump ball. I think Lewis may be able to, but not sure yet. Also, Cincinnati's run game is a key to them winning games. I'm glad they forget about it at times. If Benson gets going it's going to be a long day.
1BlkGldFan: Hmm concerns, yes, I have a few. Troy and his ICBM self. It's all fun and games until HE gets hurt. Shout out to Ryan Mundy though: He stepped up and did a really nice job. Do you think he knows that neither Collinsworth nor Michaels knows his name really isn't pronounced "Monday"? Anyway, another concern I have is The Next Great 88 on special teams. I don't know why, but I have trouble trusting his ball security skills. I'm working on that.
Cheerleaders of the week:
1BlkGldFan: I know Arn typically adorns the pages of HDM with pictures of beautiful women but today... I have something for the ladies. No, it's not some tall, good looking guy... it's better. We may never agree about what guys look great; but we will always agree that the ladies of Steeler Nation are joined together by our love of a game and love of The Pittsburgh Steelers.
PixburghArn: I was at a place called Young's Dairy, just outside of Yellow Springs, Ohio (where Dave Chappell lives) the other day and couldn't decide on which flavor I wanted. Well that carried over to the HDM. You choose. If you can't choose ask for two scoops.

very nice blkgld

Arn…….on that cincy girl………..she works hard for it honey ; ) lol I will be singing that song the rest of the day. TY
Great HDM
I had a nagging feeling that the KC game was going to be the Colts part 2. I also think this week we are more focused than last week. Maybe it was the limited practices that the play was reflecting…I hope so anyway. I think we win this one. The D will be dominant(Actually the O also), but still have a couple of WTF???? moments that keep it closer than it should be.
Things can always be worse....

Great HDM Arn.
I am looking for a beatdown by the Steelers…call it a gut feeling, but I agree with the person that pointed out there were a lot of players unhappy with the way the team played against the Chefs. In addition, it looks as though Woodley will be back in the mix….and that makes me giggle at the possibility that Dalton should face more pressure than the last time the teams squared off. I see Troy with at least one pic…maybe two…or perhaps Timmons getting one again. I really can’t see them trying to stretch the field..and I trust Ike to blanket Green. Offensively, Young Money will atone for his miscues and make some big catches underneath, Brown comes up big again..and Hines decleats a linebacker.

Rvens fan here...
Funny post title, I dont know why it’s called “Looking For Your Cat?”, but my daughter’s cat stowed away to Steeler’s country in “09”. It was in The Pittsburgh Tribune but the link no longer works, It was also on local Baltimore news channel 13. They came out and interviewed us when we found him 8 MONTHS LATER!
here’s a link:

Thank you, and it was amazing.
The funniest part, and I wish there was still a link to the news story in Baltimore. It appeared on Eyewitness news Baltimore, and they gave it a Ravens – Steelers flavor as though my cat moved to Pittsburgh to become a Steelers fan LOL. In the story they showed Heinx field with all you guys waving the terrible towels! I mean they played up the rivalry thing to make it humorous. But it was pretty amazing and unlikely to get him back. My daughter was upset, and I said, that’s ok, we’ll just drive to Pittsburgh to look for him. We were unsucessful the first time, then 8 months later he was found so we went back and got him. We drove about 1000 miles total to get him back.
When he was found, how far was he from your old neighborhood?

Oh!
For some reason, I thought the cat’s family originated in Pburgh, moved to Bmore, and that is when the cat got on the truck. Thanks for clearing that up.
"They timed it perfectly, they just went too soon." - Darrell Waltrip commenting on an illegal restart.
Yes, the fact that he stowed away
in a moving van from B’more to Pitt and then lived on the streets in Pitt for 8 months then was found, is what made it interesting.
Thanks for Troy, Arn!
There’s nothing I don’t appreciate about alllllll of that. :) Had fun! Thanks for the invite!

According to this he is currently 8th overall in probowl votes. Not that that has any bearing on him being resigned.

Well he’s going to demand #1 WR money, right? What makes him more of a #1 than Brown? Why wouldn’t we always do what we’ve done with speedsters, let them walk for more money, and bring in a new face?

On a more serious note
Because I think in the past we haven’t leaned on the passing game as much as we have in the present. I think the value of the WR position to the team has gone up. Brown right now is only proven to be effective with Mikey drawing deep coverage. If Brown was the number one guy who knows how things would be. Mikey has been good on and off the field. I think we keep him.
I love the Steelers.
by tannofsteel84 on Dec 1, 2011 3:07 PM EST up reply actions
Aren’t we facing a lot of cover 2s though? And Brown is usually on the other side of the field. So, his production isn’t just because of Wallace. The question is whether he can handle #1 corners, which Mike has struggled with in intermediate routes.

It’s worked for us, no? I think with our OL a possession WR like Brown and Sanders is more valuable than a field stretcher. I was really hoping Wallace would develop the intermediate stuff this year, but…

May not be his fault. Think about our offense. It could be that at least one player goes long, on most of our passing plays. Who better to go long than Wallace?

My guess
is that it all depends on him. The young money moniker could be very telling. I didn’t see who his agent is now, but if he hires Rosenhaus, he’s probably looking to be paid, and is outta here.
On the other hand, if he wants to stay a Steeler, albeit at a lower salary, I would think he would have that opportunity.
I thought we’d still be pretty tight against the cap next year, with it easing up the year after that. If that is the case, I’d expect we’d slap a first round tender on him.

Assuming he was going to leave, is there any way we could get something for him? I know almost nothing about free agency, restricted free agents, and all of that other crap. Because if we could get some sucker team to give up a first round pick or even a second then I’d be down with that. I think Brown and Sanders would be an amazing #1 and #2 duo.

I think Wallace will want to stay

He’s fast and I like him, but he’s not irreplaceable. That said, I hope he stays!

I have a prediction
Bengals 35 Steelers 24
I think we finally figured out how to get Gresham more invovled and AJ will make more of an impact this game. Im some what concerned about Benson, but Im sure they want to give him as much rest as they can for this Sunday. But if he is out, that would be huge.
AMAS
Score is too high in my opinion. I highly doubt this will end in a shootout. AJ Dalton I am hoping will have less time to throw than the first matchup as we have Woodley and Harrison in the same game finally, first time since Week 4.
Good luck, not too much, but its the polite thing to say

by Michael Hewitt on Dec 2, 2011 3:50 AM EST up reply actions
I really think think the Bengals are ready to break out on offense
Gresham has been under used during the begining of the year. But the last couple of games they have went to him more often. A full game with AJ will make a difference. AJ and Gresham will have mis-matches all day. And if they do get extra attension, that leaves Simpson and Hawk more open.
AMAS
and I forgot about Benson
He will be a key factor late in the game, plus he may give Troy another concussion.
AMAS
How is AJ on Taylor a mismatch? I like that matchup a lot.
"I’ll consider myself a dirty player when my mom calls me a dirty player." - Ndamukong Suh
A lot of people in the Bengals camp
were saying that AJ Green on Taylor was a mismatch that really favored the Bengals.
IMHO Green is a good ball player but he isn’t strong enough. One of those jump balls was knocked away and another was intercepted (taken from him) by the guy he was supposed ot be a huge mismatch over.
Ike just doesn;t get the credit he deserves.

I think our focus is rather tight.
There are a lot of instances of teams starting really slow and then being dominant later in the season. It happens quite often once teams start to gel. That would be even more amplified in a season with a short camp.
